As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steadily sharp 4-5 higher, with higher demand for light weight steers. Feeder heifers were steady, with good buyer demand for 300-500lbs heifers. Slaughter cows sharply higher 10-12, with great buyer demand. Slaughter bulls were steadily up. Strong market today across the board today for lower receipts and weather.
